Pros

I have just finished a year of working at Amazon and have been loving it. I'm constantly motivated by being surrounded by smart engineers and managers.

What I really like is how the leadership principles are applied by teams in design/code reviews. I can see how working here can help drive oneself to become a great leader.

Learning new skills and technology is up to you. There are a lot of resources and materials.

WFH is not questioned, thus allowing employee flexibility.

Cons

At times, I can sense people tend to align work based on promotion.

Advice to Management

Great job on resonating the leadership principles.

Compensation is not bad at all, but they should match the likes of Google/Facebook, as it's sad to see some peers leave for higher pay.
